 '''The Fugs''' were a notorious American rock band who were the first rock act to openly sing about sex, drugs and politics. They fiercely protested against the Vietnam War and the American government. Despite being an underground act even the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] started to spy on them.

You mentioned [[The Fugs|the Fugs]] in comparison to us. [[The Fugs]] are not in good taste. They have a few bugs in their plan. One of them appeared on the David Susskind Show. I suppose their basic premise is 'You talk dirty on a rock and roll record and this will lead the way to freedom of speech.' This guy is sitting there in his chair and he couldn't care less about freedom of speech. He wants to be as cool as possible saying things like, 'Yeah man, sure. Yeah, we live in the Village.' They don't care about the musical end of what they're doing. They're overcome with the sociopolitical aspects."''</p></blockquote>
